Job 8:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ It wraps its roots around a pile of rocks.
    It tries to find places to grow among the stones.
¹⁸ But when the plant is pulled up from its spot,
    that place says, ‘I never saw you.’
¹⁹ The life of that plant is sure to dry up.
    But from the same soil other plants will grow.
